DIY Wallflowers Scented Plugin
i’m about to get hippie on you all. plugin air fresheners (and tons of other stuff) have something called VOC in them. VOC stands for “volatile organic compounds” and they are highly toxic. they are chemicals with a low boiling point.
VOC cause all sorts of problems in your body: infertility (some of you may like that!), headaches, nervous system disorders, memory loss and cancer for both your pet and you…. lots of things.
i was bummed when i learned about this and unplugged mine. being a packrat i couldn’t bring myself to toss it out and thought, maybe i’ll just plug it in for the holidays and poison my loved ones only a few times a year.
then i had a bright idea:
replace the bad stuff with good stuff: essential oils, which are awesome for you and, sometimes a lot cheaper than the liquid cancer bath and body works sells.here’s how you do it.
Whoa that’s a bummer..
that could also explain why I’ve had a headache for 3 months and why I can’t seem to remember anything lately…considering I live in a room with no ventilation.
So I started to look into this more and majority of the sites I’ve found have all said the same things. I found reports and studies that linked fragrance to neurotoxicity, cancer, and endocrine disruption.
SO I guess this weekend I will be DIYing some new airfreshners out of pure oils.
